My preference is to stop at some sort of scene break. A chapter is the most logical choice. A scene break between chapters is my next choice.

I like to continue with the first new chapter that is on the current page. |
I agree - I prefer to stop where there's some kind of natural break in the story.
I have read a few books, though, where each chapter ended on a sort of mini cliffhanger, so in that case a chapter end might not be the best place to stop!
